Garlic mustard is an invasive species in our area. It is a biennial flowering plant, meaning it has a two year life cycle. During its first year, the plant can be found growing low to the ground with its rosette leaves. The following year, the plant will flower and reproduce. White flowers will form and the garlic mustard will grow two or three feet tall. The invasive species produces large amounts of seeds that can be transported by wind, water, animals, and people. These invasive species can rapidly spread and will out compete native plants in the area.
